Traditionally, Thanksgiving has always been an untraditional dining experience in my family. There’s always meats that make cameo appearances, a couple sides that you wouldn’t find in your old holiday picture book. Insert cliche Forrest Gump quote here.

What we have instead is an open buffet filled of assorted goodness, which highlights some year-round favorites like my mom’s bow tie pasta and spinach, to the new feature Vietnamese summer roll brought over by a second cousin’s roomate’s sister’s best friends’ babysitter. And like Thanksgivings of the past, the food was placed, I stuffed my face, and nearly had to roll myself out the door to travel the dangerous, tryptophan-drunk ride home. Pictures and captions only, as talking about the food at the time meant missing out on seconds. What follows is only a portion of what was devoured this Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
